Powdered Metal Sintering of Jet Vanes.

Abstract

This report presents the successful efforts to use powdered metallurgy techniques in manufacturing jet vanes from sintered and copper infiltrated tungsten. Isostatic pressing of the powdered tungsten to net shape imparts sufficient hardening to allow handling and final shaping by use of conventional sanding belts. Relatively high pressures increase density to a predictable shrinkage during sintering. Only minor machining after copper infiltration is needed, reducing material usage and labor. (Author)
